Tour Highlights

  • Malaga (half day): Our tour of the modern yet historic port city of Malaga will take in the ancient Roman Theatre, Picasso’s birthplace, entrance to Alcazaba— a palatial fortification built during Muslim rule, and entrance to the Cathedral—one of the best examples of Spanish Renaissance architecture, featuring paintings by famous Spanish artists.
  • Mijas (half day): Situated in the foothills of the Sierra de Mijas, this picturesque village is known as the “Essence of Andalusia” for its white houses, windows full of flowers and narrow streets. During our walking tour we will see the Shrine of the “Virgen de la Peña”, the Parish Church, the Bullring and the Auditorium. -Alfarnatejo (full day with lunch): A tour through the olive oil route to see the largest and oldest olive groves in the region. We visit a rural oil production plant to sample different varieties before continuing to the charming mountain village of Alfarnatejo. A special lunch with a local family showcases the world-renowned gastronomy of the region.
  • Marbella & Puerto Banus (half day): We visit the well-preserved Old Town of Marbella, with its iconic white streets and flowered balconies. The Castle here is the only local structure remaining from the Muslim period. Then on to the marina of Puerto Banus—popular with international celebrities and harbouring some of the world’s most luxurious ships. -Seville (transfer day): Known for its impressive monumental heritage, Seville boasts beautiful gardens at Maria Luisa Park, the Plaza de España and the typical, delightful district of “Santa Cruz” (the former Jewish Quarter). We also see the 15th-century Cathedral, the largest Gothic Church in Christendom, with its magnificent chancel, carvings and paintings.
  • Alte & Salir (half day): We visit elegant Alte—a typical Algarve village of whitewashed houses with lattice work, handcrafted chimneys and narrow, cobbled streets nestling in the foothills of the Serra do Caldeirão. There are many little cafés in which to relax and soak up the tranquility of the village. We then step back in time as we travel to Salir where a white row of charming houses are surrounded by the typical Algarve Carob, olive and almond orchards. -Lagos & Sagres (full day): Lagos still has many architectural signs of its ancient past, with one of the buildings dating back to 1445 and recorded as Europe’s first slave market. After some time here we visit Sagres and nearby Cape St. Vincent—the most southwestern point of Europe. The lighthouse here provides safety for the many ships that pass the Cape. The surrounding cliffs provide a dramatic backdrop with their sheer height and the constant pounding of the ocean town with a maze of twisting lanes and a lovely marina. Olhao is the Algarve’s main fishing port and we will see the town centre, charming waterfront and visit the municipal market (mercado) with its display of an exceptional variety of seafood.
  • Silves & Monchique Mountains (half day): Silves, located in one of Portugal’s best citrus growing areas, was historically the most fought over place in the Algarve. Its 1,000-year-old sandstone castle is the best preserved Moorish castle in Portugal. After our visit we drive to Foia—the highest point in the Algarve, with beautiful panoramic views.
  • Lisbon City Tour (half day—upon arrival from the Algarve): Portugal’s capital is a legendary city with over 2,000 years of history. On our city tour we’ll stroll through the winding streets and alleys of the old quarter of Alfama, we’ll see Jeronimos Monastery, see the Tower of Belem and Monument to the Discoveries, and we’ll taste the famous “Pasteis de Belem”.
